This is self explanatory; to all who do not support the idea of ownership, there shall be no more funding, regardless of their game’s quality.
Advice:
buy from GOG, avoid single player games which require internet connection or 3 party launchers.

Then they need to quit fucking over their paying customers
Plenty of them aren’t. Pay them.
I seriously don’t know how you’re this off mark about all of this. No one has said to pirate games from companies that doesn’t do what the thread is about. It’s literally only about either pirating or not playing the specific games from the companies who shut down games.
You’re on the verge of being like that Pirate Software dude who is against the SKG movement because he’s so fucking dumb that he doesn’t understand the extremely obvious and clearly communicated points.
Piracy of shitty AAA games sends a simple message: “These games aren’t shitty! They’re STUPENDOUS!!! But they just need to work a liiiitle harder on DRM systems to lock thieves out of it.”
Besides, I know very few pirates that draw a firm line between AAA/indie pirating. Many will shift excuses at will to play what they want.
My reaction is simple: Don’t play bad games. Piracy has no entry point to that equation.
